“An
ingenious miniature musical in the
form of a snazzy vaudevillian double-act. The authors and the director deploy
minimal stage resources to maximum effect. With just two actors, a piano and a
prop or two, the show spins out a curlicued comic mystery story animated by
funny, deftly turned songs!”-The New York Times
(Charles Isherwood)

“A
charmingly frenetic new musical comedy!”-Entertainment Weekly

“Four
stars! A zany musical whodunit... it wins you over with droll writing and
winsome performances!”-Time Out New York

“A bawdy-yet-intelligent send-up of the
murder-mystery genre... the self-aware humor of the book makes the evening feel
like a live-action Clue-themed
episode of The Simpsons or Family Guy”–TheatreMania

“It’s
a noir-tinged, slapsticky detective story elevated to heights of delicious
farce by its clever authorial and directorial conceits… who’d have guessed that
murder could be so much fun?” –The New York Observer

“This
fluffy midsummer crowd-pleaser is pure confection... watching this sprightly
caper felt like polishing off a whole plate of ice cream for dinner.” –The Village
Voice

“Somehow
manages to pack in all of the entertainment value of a mega Broadway musical...
you’ll undoubtedly be eager to recount the experience of ‘Murder for Two’ to
your friends!”-Metro

“Kinosian’s
insinuatingly catchy tunes and Blair’s deft, at times Sondheimian, lyrics
convey fun as readily as facts: Marcus’s ‘Protocol Says,’ about the rules of
police work, is a blisteringly fun opener; ‘He Needs a Partner,’ a sweet ode
sung by Whitney’s niece Steph who takes a strong liking to Marcus and his work;
and ‘Process of Elimination’ is a fast-paced parade through the final stages of
deduction!”-Talkin’ Broadway

“Get
out your sweat rags, murder mystery buffs! ‘Murder For Two’, the new whodunit
musical, is 90 minutes of non-stop wackiness and killer suspense!”-Curtain Up
